The Bells

You were born, to the echoing bells Remember where you came from, and all will be well. You were born to the fences and fireplace homes. Remember, When you thought of love like a permanent thing, Not a flash in a young forever Like nothing would be changing Face down on the floor, You said this world would be better for me A coward transformed the fate, of all that I believe in All men can flee, but I still believe The love you left is locked somewhere in me. Can't change if I stay shut. Sunlight come, Bring me up. Can't change if I stay shut Is this all that I'm supposed to be? You were born to the bells, To the strawberry sweet, sugar cookie spring. When she gave you to the world She left it in a bright red wrapped box Waiting there for me. Love the moment, when you're only hoping For that strawberry sunset, sugar cookie spring. Wait. You were born into your Mother's ocean, And it's fall of love.
